Aim To investigate the roles of chloride channels in the apoptosis and apoptotic volume decrease( AVD) induced by adriamycin in nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells. Methods Apoptotic rates were detected by flow cytometry,and the volume changes were measured by the time-lapse live cell imaging technique. The patch clamp technique was used to record whole-cell chloride currents. Results Adriamycin induced apoptosis of CNE-2Z cells. An early apoptotic volume decrease was observed in the cell treated with adriamycin. The cell volume was decreased by about 10% in 2 h. Adriamycin activated a chloride current which showed outward rectification. The chloride channel blocker 5-nitro-2-( 3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate( NPPB) could inhibit the adriamycin-induced chloride currents,apoptosis and prevent cell shrinkage. Conclusions Our findings suggest that adriamycin causes cell apoptosis by activation of chloride channels. Chloride channels may be involved in the apoptosis and apoptotic volume decrease induced by adriamycin in CNE-2Z cells.
